that he desired to withdraw his acquiesence in

Farmers Becoming AIarmed-WelcOne
Rains i'm the South and West.
WHITEWATER, WIS.,, May 16.-The drought in
this section Is becoming matter OF serious con-
Germ. Although the weather Is warm and pleas
ant the grass and grain crops are making but little
growth. In this respect the season is much like
that of 1886. The effect OF the severe winter on
1alSOwed grain proves to have been less injurious
than was feared.
WELCOME RAIN IN NEBRASKA.

BETTER WEATHER FOR COTTON AND CORN.
HELENA, ARK, May 16.-A slight rain May TO-
and general rain which has fallen since, are ex-
pected to repair to some extent the damage done
the cotton and corn crops by the cool nights OF
month ago, and the want OF rain since that time.
Many fields of cotton had been plOwed up and re-
planted the stands being very poor. In the cotton
lands the average OF cotton is a little less than
last year, the stands excellent and the condition
OF the plant frStrate.

Quarters for the Signal Service.
WHAT GEN cRrpI V SAYS Anor-r RI

WHAT GEN. GREEDY SAYS ABOUT 1T.
Gen. Greedy said to-day that it is hardly possible
that the quarters Of the Signal Office can be
changed before Congress meets. The matter is
in the hands of the Secretary of War, but will
probably not be acted upon. Gen. CREEPY said he
was In favor OF moving to any building that could
be used If it would enable them to get out of the
present unsuitable and unhealthy quarters. 1t
was at first thought advisable to rent the Butler
mansion, on Capitol Hill, but the three or four
thousand dollars necessary to move would have
to come out of the contingent fund, which Is prac
tically exhausted. Besides, General Greedy said,
it Is doubtful II Congress would favor such move,
as It has under consideration the purchase Of that
building. In view Of the requirement that nearly
oil the bureaus OF the War Department shall be
quartered In the new wing Of the War Department
building it is doubtful If location on Capitol Hill
would prove satisfactory on account OF distance.
Under the circumstances Gen. Greedy thought
that Congress will have to act before anything
can be done. The Ferguson place on street,
which was so nearly purchased by Congress last
year, he thought the most desirable for the Signal
Service. 1t contains 81, 600 square feet OF ground
and can be purchased Tor sos 900, making only
81 foot including the building, which is splendid
Iy adapted for the Signal Service.
